    Possibly, but maybe only because of the new transfer rules. If they didn’t exist, it would be less likely that tons of guys transfer and less likely school let kids out of their latest of intent (I remember teams fighting to keep players and refusing to release recruits from LOI for virtually any reason in the olden times, before the empire. Okay, I lost track of what I was talking about).

    That’s my understanding. You can transfer once without sitting out a year, but you can’t do it a 2nd time without sitting out a year unless you are a grad transfer.

    iirc, CTG said something about respecting their season & waiting until after before talking to them.

    He waited to talk to the players and staff. He talked to the signees. He’s talked to everyone by now.

    If CTG can turn our current players into a team that plays the way he wants, we'll be fine.

    Watching Golden’s press conference now. I’m psyched! Imo, unlike White & Mullen, he’s so excited to be here at UF and in Gainesville. He’s throwing out facts to sell UF ( top 5 public Univ. and since 2000, players from UF have earned over a billion dollars in the NBA!) like Spurrier used to. He can really talk the talk without too much coachspeak and doesn’t drone on & put me to sleep like so many coaches these days.
    Somebody needs to post it up when he is done.

    Next year will be a wash. But the second year will tell us if he is going to work out or not.

    Once a coach leaves UF he's all but dead to me. Even Urban after 2 NCs, then especially Urban. I can't root for someone that CHOSE to leave Florida, regardless of the circumstances.

    The worse thing you could have is a disgruntled student athlete playing for your team. If he really doesn't want to play, even if there is no provision for him to decommit, we sho
    What it means is that we allowed a coach to decimate the brand of our program, and then we allowed him to leave on his terms instead of firing him which should have happened two years ago.

    The bottom line is that if we have to play with 9 transfers who are mostly seniors, that opens up the door for 6 or 7 freshmen to come to a once storied program to rebuild it from scratch with a young and exciting coach who understands the expectations and can't do much worse than his predecessor.

    I'd rather see that quite frankly than two more years of torture watching point guards playing power forwards, who are then too tired to put up jump shots in crunch time because they have been guarding people that weigh 40 more pounds than they do all night.

    Very different.

    Those that wanted White out and knew losing was the fastest way truly thought that was in the best interest of UF and our basketball program.

    I can certainly see why some would disagree but their intentions were pure.

    If you root for White over UF at this point then you aren’t going for what is in the best interest of UF

    Do you think he chose to leave or given the option to not be fired?

    We don't know that. The SEC is up for grabs. We have to keep Reeves, Lane, Jitoboh, Gatkek, and Kennedy, and let the incoming freshmen decommit if that is what they want to do. 90% chance they will be going to a program that hasn't had the success we have had in the last two decades even with Mike White at the helm. If their disappointment at not being coached by a man who at best rated out as substandard by teams that have won national championships in the past 20 years, forces them to leave a program with the banners we have in our rafters, then they weren't Gator material to begin with. They will rue the day that they did not choose to play for us and attend our great university.

    Golden if that happens should go to all of the junior colleges and get top players coming out of JC and other Power 5 programs who want to make an immediate impact on our program. He has to strike a balance so that he can have at least 5-6 incoming freshmen in the class of 2023.

    That is just it. We have to stop getting players to commit to coaches and get players who commit to the university in basketball and football. Then it won't matter who is coaching unless he is incompetent in which case he will either be fired or quit. Anyone who would not applaud the departure of Mike White given what he did to our program in 7 years, isn't fit to play for Florida in the first place. Good riddance. The notion that we should have appeased a recruit and dealt with another year of substandard coaching is absurd.

    White knew what was going down at the end of this season. Why else would he take a dead end position like Georgia. They always have been unable to recruit the greater Atlanta area. Do you really think White will have success recruiting there after seeing who he brought us at Florida?
